Apparently Kate Rubins took a "spectacular" photo of the Soyuz re-entry.  Hope to see that soon!

I don't want to disturb the live updates to this thread but I have watched and followed along many of these Soyuz landings and I'm always surprised how poor the communications quality is between the Soyuz and the Russian Misson Control...

29:21 to landing...things are going well..apparently...

Some day, year or century the Russians will have satellite comms with their spacecraft like every other major space faring nation.

It's actually one of the features of the MS series, like in the next capsule to land.

Expedition 48 Crew Receives a Warm Welcome in Kazakhstan
Expedition 48 Commander Jeff Williams of NASA and Soyuz Commander Alexey Ovchinin and Oleg Skripochka of Roscosmos were greeted in a traditional ceremony at the airport in Karaganda, Kazakhstan Sept. 7, a few hours after landing in their Soyuz TMA-20M spacecraft in Kazakhstan near the town of Dzhezkazgan. After the ceremony, Ovchinin and Skripochka returned to their training base in Star City, Russia, while Williams returned to the U.S. The trio spent 172 days in space aboard the orbital laboratory. The footage includes an interview conducted with Williams at the Karaganda airport.
